Duo Therm A/C

Ive googled Duo Therm and can't find specifications on how much amp draw the A/c is supposed to draw. I have found that the a/c unit appears to draw nearly the max 30amp capacity of my generator which is 33 amps. I also found with the a/c on, I can't run additional appliances without tripping the 30 amp circuit breaker on the internal circuit fuse box. Can anyone let me know the Duo therm amp draw. maybe thats normal.

Easy to check. Go up on the roof and remove the plastic cover. The sticker has all you need to know.

Amp draw on the sticker is at 115 Volts AC. If camp voltage is less, the current is more. Start up current can not be more than 1.56 times the running current (for compressor (RLA) and fan (FLA)) in order to get a UL rating. The LRA is Locked Rotor Amps and that is a malfunction condition where the compressor is not turning due to voltage too low but the unit is calling for cold.

Here is mine:
